Although I have never really been an ardent fan of Sarah McLachlan, I tend to listen to her music from time to time, especially in autumn, and when I’m feeling melancholic. In my opinion, she has released one brilliant album (”Fumbling Towards Ecstasy”), and several decent ones, including “Surfacing” …

It’s FOPP not FLOP. The third studio released album from Soundgarden, Screaming Life/FOPP, was the album that started the buzz-mill. Though not as good as previous albums in my opinion, this third installment in the Garden’s legacy is still a winner.
The straight-forward, no nonsense approach the band takes in …

This album was one of the first albums by the Cure that I listened to. It was quite a long time ago. It took place, in fact, probably in the year when this album was released. And then I loved these songs a lot. They seemed magic and otherworldly. …

Broken, Beat, and Scarred, the third track off of Death Magnetic continues the pattern of songs which sound a lot closer to tracks which Metallica were writing during their earlier days, the 1980s and very early 1990s. Broken, Beat, and Scarred has somewhat of an eastern sound to it …

It was a common occurrence in the ’80s where a punk band’s first release is probably their best, no matter how many records they release afterwords or how long they stay together. They may release a lot of amazing records, but nothing can top their first. This holds true …

Of course the circumstances that are surrounding the death of Adam Yauch are very sad indeed, and it is very unfortunate that he died from cancer, and I mention this because at the moment I cannot listen to this last album by Beastie Boys without remembering about this tragic …

Dreams from The Corrs is awesome. The Corrs is at their most peak/popular during the late 1999s or early 2000s, I’m not so sure. In between those times, I was so heavily into buying their CD singles and albums.

Whips and Chains by David Allan Coe is a weird song. It is probably my least favorite song that he does. It just goes to show that you can write a song about almost anything though. I don’t think this one made it very big because I had never …
